Canyassing for the Offices of the House of
Representatives goes on amazingly. The
principal officers are those OF Clerk, Door
keeper, Sergeant-at-ArEns and Postmaster,
ana there has been more or less talk or
opposition 10 all the old lncumbents. but
up 10 the present the opposition has not de-
seiOped rival candidate. except in the case
OF the Do0rkeepership. This office has more
patronage than AL the others combined.
Mr.. Donelson. who was unlortuuate IN dis
appointing msDy members of the Forty
ninth Congress. is candidate for re-slee
ti0n. Against him are Mr.. Hunt, OF Miss
issippi. who will get large Southern vote;
Mr.. Nichols, Of Texas. who has majority
of the Texas delegation TO start with; Mr..
Asher Barnett OF New York, with large
vote from the North; aud Ar. ID. n. Reeder,
OF Pennsylvanis. Mr.. Hurt and the North
ern candidate, whoever be may be, will
make il hard fight for Mr.. Donelson. Mr..
Raines, OF Rochester. has been mentioned
as candidate for the Clerks Office, but ne
Ia. not yet appeared in the field.
Blaine made, l understand, $4,000
from his Thirty Years in Congress" and
bis Speeches have had quite respectabls
sale. With the exception of Grant, he has
perhaps done the best financially OF any OF
our statesmen who have written books.
Horace Greeley got ten cents copy Tor the
first book he wrote and his Glance at
Europe" he sold outright for $500. His
Life of Clay" paid the publishers and his
American Conflict" would have had sale
bigger than that of Blaine's book had be
not signed the bail bond for Jefferson
Davis. As il was the first volume, which was
published before that time, reached en- edi-
ton of $4,000 copies. and he was we'll paid
for his work in getting up the two volumes.
Bonner paid him big price for his "Recol-
lect ions of Busy Life" before he began TO
write them, and these were first published
in the Ledger and afterwards put out IN
book FORM. Bescher's whole book work,
however. did not probably pay him $780,
90. and had be been living today he would
probably have received three times as much.

ary work of his lifetime, and Alexander

SEC. 1870. If the taker-up of

he knowingly and willfully violates
any Of the provisions of this Title,
he may be fined IN any sum not ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars; but in
case estrays are work animals, they
may be used by the taker-up in the
same manner as though he were the
owner thereof, and the value of such
use must be deducted from the
charges attaching to such estray.

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE OF
ALTURAs COUNTY,

I
ALTURAs COUNTY,
HALEY, IDAHO, Aug. 1887.
W. W. YEATEs. ESQ. Assessor and Collector of
Al.uras County. Idaho Territory, HALEY:
Yours requesting an opinion upon
Section 17lO of the Revised Laws of
Idaho, in reference to the collection
of delinquent taxes, received.
That section reads as follows: "All
taxes assessed before this Code takes
effect must be collected under the
laws in force at the time the assess.
ment was made, and in the same
manner as if this Code had not been
passed"
A large proportion for this year
was assessed before the first day Of
June, the day upon which the new
law went into operation. A portion
of the taxes, however, we're assessed
since the LIST day of June, A. D. 1887.
Under the law as it was prior to June
lst, taxes became delinquent on the
second Monday in November, and
after becoming delinquent a penalty
OF Is per cent. was added.
Under the law that became opera
tive June LIST, taxes become delinquent
on the second Monday of December,
and when delinquent a penalty of 10
per cent. is added.
Now let US apply Section 1710. 1,
means that the taxes assessed before
June lst must be collected under tina,
law-"the law in force at the time the
assessment was made"-and if such
taxes become delinquent, they must
be collected under the law and in the
same manner as if the Code had not
been passed.
If those who were assessed before
June LIST permit their taxes to become
delinquent on the second Monday in
November, they must pay the Is per
cent. penalty, and those subsequent
to June LIST, if delinquent on the Sec
